I would appreciate a post from someone in the know about how to write
widgets so the do not leak. Does anybody know how to do this? I have
developed a pulldown menu widget (on richardinfo) which I would like to use
for intranet applications. I'm leaking 2MB per refresh. 20 minutes of
normal use and it takes 3 to 5 seconds to "pulldown" a menu. - Very
disappointing. As Lasse suggests - this can hardly be called
"Production/stable" - at least for my purposes. I would like very much to
use DynAPI - but at this point I'm relying on alternates.
